Chapter Twelve

When Jack and Praiseworthy return to Hangtown (pp. 127-129), it seems that Praiseworthy's reputation has continued to grow.  Why do you think that "every man in the diggings became hard of hearing when he wanted to" and "they preferred a tall tale to the facts?"

    His reputation has grown because alot of people heard about the time when he knocked the road agent up hill. They prefer to "tall tale the facts" so they can make a reputstion for Hangtown.

    Yes Lexi, but why do the people of Hangtown really want to hear what they want to hear?

    Justine, you need to actually share some of your own thoughts and not just parrot what others say.

    It was because praiseworthy knocked the road agent up the hill. The miners thought that it was incredable.

    I think that they call him "Bullwhip" so the resedents of Hangtown can get travelers to come and spend their money.
